Halloween is Canceled is a new limited audio series unpacking and dissecting five unmade Halloween sequels.  Presented by the DREAD Podcast Network’s very own Development Hell, this new podcast celebrates the strange, fascinating and often outrageous history of unmade Michael Myers features.  Don’t pretend like you’re not curious…

This first episode tackles Dennis Etchison's lost Halloween 4 draft, featuring the insight of Dread Central’s very own Josh Millican. 

This alterative universe iteration of Halloween 4 is strange, cerebral and self-aware. We're talking 12 foot tall Michael rampaging a three-screen drive-in playing Friday the 13th in the background. No, I'm not kidding.

New episodes land every Tuesday from now until Halloween.  Look out for exciting bonus content, including interviews with cast members of the Halloween series.

Ever wonder what really happened to the murderous maniac Angela Baker? Well, same. This episode tackles the semi-completed sequel 'Sleepaway Camp 4: The Survivor'.

With only 30 minutes of footage shot, Double Helix Rainboy Films went bankrupt in the middle of production of this bonkers sequel to the 'Sleepaway Camp' films. 

20 years later, a group of fans found the footage and pieced together the scraps into the strangest horror film we've yet to cover.

There was a crooked man who walked a crooked mile... but it wasn't good enough... now he sits in the trash pile...

To celebrate the recent release of Malignant, Development Hell is revisiting a James Wan project which never saw the light of day...

The Crooked Man saw his first and only appearance in 2016's The Conjuring 2 alongside another show-up queen, The Nun.

This episode unearths what's happening with the current Crooked Man spin-off, while also digging up the truth about the boogeyman archetype. 

This episode features the very special guest Juliana Bruyn.

Josh and Zena dig deep into the forgotten a CANDYMAN film, before spilling the details about Nia DaCosta’s upcoming spiritual follow up to the 1992 classic. In March 2004, Tony Todd announced he had signed on to star in a fourth Candyman film… This sequel was allegedly set at a New England all-girls private school where the Candyman was reigning havoc during a blizzard. Clive Barker was even in talks to produce this project, which was rumored to be ignoring the events of the other sequels.  With extra special guest Zena Dixon (cohost of The Bloody Disgusting Podcast), these two take a real sharp look at the Candyman franchise as a whole, and speculate wildly on what could have been… and what’s yet to come. Also, they are VERY CONCERNED about that girl on TikTok with the hole in her bathroom wall. You can subscribe to Development Hell on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or anywhere you listen to podcasts!

The most tragic horror video game cancellation of all time is arguably Silent Hills. 2014 saw the release of P.T. —the horrifying playable trailer for Silent Hills— and the internet lost its mind. P.T. went on to receive tons of fanfare and made every end-of-year list imaginable. But Silent Hills never happened.  Now the Development Hell podcast investigates what happened to the infamous game from Konami Hideo Kojima, and Guillermo del Toro. We unpack the speculated drama within Konami, and identity the key players in the narrative.  But that’s not all! We also look to the future of the Silent Hill franchise. While there hasn’t been a Silent Hill game released in nearly a decade, there has been tons of speculation about the property’s imminent return. The guests: Ted Hentschke heads up the DreadXP team, the video game extension of Dread Central! So this guy knows horror games. Ted helps host Josh Korngut contextualize the current state of video games and is here to ensure all facts are correct.
